Thailand Launches 'Beyond SHE' Program to Empower Women and LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurs

Thailand has launched a new support program called 'Beyond SHE' for new-era women and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. The program aims to elevate participants' businesses to a new level, promote market expansion, and build business models that enable sustainable growth at a regional level. The 'Beyond SHE' initiative is designed to address the challenges faced by entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds in the current business environment. Specifically, it aims to strengthen access to the skills, knowledge, and networks necessary for business growth for entrepreneurs who are women or belong to the LGBTQ+ community. The program's specific content focuses on business upskilling, market development strategies, and the creation of innovative business models to enhance competitiveness within the regional economic zone. This will enable participants to build a foundation for expanding their businesses not only within Thailand but also into broader regional markets. This initiative can also be seen as part of the inclusive economic growth strategy promoted by the Thai government and related agencies. Promoting the active participation of diverse talent is expected to contribute to the revitalization of the entire economy and the creation of innovation.
